How to Make Waco Hot Mulled Cider
- In a large kettle or pot, combine 2 quarts apple cider, 1 cup orange juice, 1/2 cup brown sugar, 1/4 cup maple syrup, 4 cinnamon sticks, 10 whole cloves, 2 star anise, 2 black tea bags, and 1 orange (quartered).
- Bring the mixture to a gentle simmer over medium heat. Reduce heat and continue to simmer for 20-30 minutes, or until the flavors have melded and the cider is fragrant.
- Adjust sweetness and spice to your liking by adding more brown sugar, maple syrup, or cinnamon sticks/cloves during simmering.
- Remove from heat and carefully strain the cider through a fine-mesh sieve or cheesecloth, discarding the solids.
- For serving, pour the mulled cider into mugs and garnish with orange slices, cinnamon sticks, or star anise. Optionally, transfer to a slow cooker or crockpot on the 'warm' setting to keep it warm for hours.
